A cloth bag is presented to the audience. The sides and bottom of the back are show to be sewn completely (they really are). The magician or assistant climbs into the bag and the mouth of the bag is then tied shut with a rope or cord. A covering such as a curtain or sheet is raised up in front of the performer for only a moment and the person quickly makes their escape from the bag. The tied top of the bag is undisturbed! Sound impossible? No Velcro is used. No extra rope is pulled down inside the bag, and no stitching is removed. This is an excellent bag for those who need a bag for the Metamorphosis Substitution Trunk (Sub Trunk) illusion.

This is Harry Houdini's famous escape illusion effect. The magician is handcuffed, placed into a canvas sack and the sack is tied shut. The performer is then placed into a trunk, the trunk is closed, padlocked, tied shut with a rope or chain and so forth. The magician's assistant stands on top of the trunk, momentarily raises a cover, and the two performers instantaneously change places! The magician is now free and the assistant is found inside the trunk, inside the tied sack, and handcuffed! We build some of the finest sub trunks ever made. We supply the trunk. You can purchase handcuffs elsewhere on our website and we recommend the Sack-X Escape listed above for the bag. This trunk comes apart and packs flat for transport.

The magician has a spectator examine a pair of ungimmicked double-locked thumb cuffs. The spectator is then locked into the thumb cuffs and is unable to escape. The magician shows that only 2 keys can open the cuffs and free the spectator. The magician gives both keys to another spectator to hold. The magician's thumb cuffs are locked on by a volunteer. The spectator covers the magician's hand with a cloth (not included). Instantly the magician has escaped! Wait...he's in again...no, he's out! Finally, when the cloth is whisked away, the cuffs have completely vanished! Comes with real thumb cuffs, and 2 keys. Also great for use in performing another version of the Thumb Tie listed on this webpage. 578NUFlo00190
